Hi Aiden!
Interesting question, best resource to ask would be your mom actually! In regards to the fun part, I think that depends on the person. If it doesn't make you grossed out to look at people's mouths/teeth and you enjoy doing that type of work go for it! You could even just shadow your mom at her office to see what her day to day is like.
As for pay, here is a good chart to look at what the average dental hygienist will make:

It will vary widely due to location/position/level of experience, but its a good place to estimate how much a hygienist will make. I hope that answers your question :)
